Burials of two brothers and two sisters

[Greaves]

Buried deep in my family tree there are two brothers, who married two sisters.

The brothers are:

William WRIGHT (1822-1895) b Essex, d 13 Feb 1895 in Paddington
Wilson WRIGHT (1835-1892) b Essex, d 25 Sep 1892 in Paddington

The sisters are:

Mary Ann WRIGHT née DANIELS (1821-1899) b Edmonton, d 07 Jan 1899 in Paddington
Sarah WRIGHT née DANIELS (1835-1923) b Tottenham, d 19 May 1923 in Norwood

I am having great difficulty in tracking down their final resting places. Any help. would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

To avoid confusion it may be better to show the women as Wright nee Daniels

Suitably amended.

I suspect that they are all buried in the same cemetery, as they tended to follow each other around. Sarah's death, by the way, was in the Uxbridge area, what is referred to today as Norwood Green, rather than South London's Norwood.

Does anyone have any idea where people who died in Maida Vale/Paddington in the late 19th century were buried?

Norwood Green is now split between london brough of Ealing & Hounslow  & is the southern part of Southall  middlesex  Norwood Green is about a 15 min drive from Uxbidge but a direct link on the Grand Union Canal prob no connection but a point of intrest the surnames you mention wright &Daniels  wherlknown working canal boat people in the said area's

Thanks for this. I actually know Norwood Green well, having lived in both Hounslow and Ealing. A lot of other London boroughs have cemeteries in Ealing, along the Uxbridge Road.

The two Wright brothers were born in Great Dunmow in Essex. They come from a family of carpenters and builders. They were both carpenters and later general builders, with William have small building firm. In the 1891 census, William is described as a builder, whilst his son is listed as a carpenter, no doubt working in the family business. Similarly, Wilson in 1891 census is listed as a carpenter.

As for the two Daniels sisters, they are from the Tottenham/Edmonton area and are related to me by blood.

Neither family have any canal connections as far as I know.

I am still trying to locate the final resting place of six of my relatives, namely

William WRIGHT (1822-1895) - b Essex, d 13 Feb 1895 in Paddington

Wilson WRIGHT (1835-1892) - b Essex, d 25 Sep 1892 in Paddington

Mary Ann WRIGHT née DANIELS (1821-1899) - b Edmonton, d 07 Jan 1899 in Paddington

Sarah WRIGHT née DANIELS (1835-1923) - b Tottenham, d 19 May 1923 in Norwood

Charles Joseph POWELL (1830-1887) - b Hornsey, d 17 Jan 1887 in Paddington

Ann or Annie POWELL née DANIELS (1833-1902) - b Tottenham, d 24 Nov 1902 in Willesden

It has been suggested that they might be in Paddington Old Cemetery or Willesden Lane Cemetery. Unfortunately I have been unable to find these records online or to contact the cemetery by e-mail. Does anyone have any idea where these records are stored, how to access them or indeed contact the cemetery.

Sometimes I've found people there who died in Paddington.
